"There was a lot of information to go through; the combined HARPS and UVES measurements spanned about 17.5 years."
"This painstaking work unearthed a possible planet called Proxima c, which is at least 6 times more massive than Earth and may therefore be a type of world known as a super-Earth. Proxima c completes one lap around Proxima Centauri every 5.2 Earth years, making it a poor prospect for life as we know it."

Good report, follow up observations may confirm the exoplanet.
